IP blocking

[Psycho Fox]

Today I tried to view Winamps forms and found out my IP address is blocked there yet today was first time I ever visted their fourms (don't worry I can change my IP address so I'm immune to IP blocking) has this happened to anyone else?

Dout it with me, I run a random IP address every time my modem reconnects, and keeps changing, so it would advoid Spammers on Email, or Hackers mainly.

I attend school at Indiana U. of PA...

At one of the labs, I went to log onto TZ one time, and low and behold, the IP address was blocked.

I still haven't e-mailed the mods about this, but I intend to sometime soon. It does make for some moments of inconvenience. But moreso, I'm just curious as to the ol' "who did what" at this certain lab!

Whenever a user is banned their IP is banned as well to prevent them from re-registering. It's really only effective on people with static IP addresses. If your IP changes everytime you go online, or if you're at school and you use different computers, there's a chance you'll end up with the same IP as someone who has previously been banned. If you PM me I can probably figure out what IP address you're using and remove it from the banned list.
